History
Number Seven was a modified CGR-1A1 Charger whose small lasers were replaced with medium lasers, but the 'Mech never operated at optimal efficiency largely due to Ford's extremely limited technical skills and the ever increasing damage to its actuators and other systems suffered during Terry Ford lucky escapes.[1] [2] [3]
Ford's luck finally ran out when the Illician Lancers were deployed in the Terran Corridor for a short time following the Fourth Succession War, coming under attack from Sorenson's Sabres in a retaliatory strike. Leaping from an embankment intent on performing a "Highlander Burial" on a Sorenson's Sabres Longbow, Ford was killed instantly when "Number Seven"'s gyro overreacted and caused it to crash face first into ground with tremendous force.[2] [3]
Number Seven would be claimed by the Sabres, the near crippled 'Mech sent to Galedon V for an extensive refit, subsequently rebuilt from the ground up to the slower but more heavily armed CGR-1A9 variant (ID number: CGR1A0ALSX9). Assigned to Busosenshi Andrew Martin, despite the work performed on Ford's former 'Mech, "Number Seven" still suffered from no end of minor glitches and malfunctions. Ultimately the 'Mech would disappear from the Sabres' roster sometime after 3049, one rumor insisting that the pilot-less "Number Seven" "accidentally" fell out of a DropShip during a combat drop drill.[2] [3] [4]
Notes
